Do I need to replace these heat shields. If so, where can I get them?

    I just got my new fairing kit and I am in the process of removing my old OEM fairings. On my rear fairing under the seat, I noticed these heat shields that obviously protect the fairing from the heat coming off the exhaust. I have aftermarket FMF Apex pipes and so I am not sure about a couple of things.

    First of all, were these heat shields stock on the bike or were they added with the aftermarket pipes? (Obviously, I bought this bike used and I am trying to figure things out)

    If they came stock, do I really need them with my aftermarket FMF Apex pipes? These don't seem to be running that hot.

    If it is better safe than sorry to put them on (which I would prefer to do anyway) where can I buy them or something that will work in their place?

    Thanks for the help,
    Bryson

    Lots of autoparts stores, or hardware stores sell adhesive heat shielding. Just cut to size

    Will any adhesive backed heat shielding suffice? I figured since this is a fender area where a lot of water probably splashes up, I would need something that is somewhat sealed as the shields are that are on the OEM fairing.
